Return trip: Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a move back to Everton

Everton are reportedly lining up a double swoop for Chelsea duo Romelu Lukaku and Christian Atsu.

Striker Lukaku spent the last season at Goodison Park and netted 15 league goals in 31 appearances for the Toffees, but the signings Diego Costa and Didier Drogba has seen him fall further down the Stamford Bridge pecking order.

Wolfsburg and Juventus have also been linked with a £20m bid for Belgium international Lukaku, but according to Sky Sports, the former Anderlecht striker is keen on a return to the club he did so well for last season.

Sky are also reporting that Everton are working on a deal to bring Chelsea’s rising star Christian Atsu, who is also a target for West Ham, to the club on a loan deal.

The Ghana international spent last season at Vitesse Arnhem in the Eredivisie last season and put in some impressive displays at the World Cup for the African side.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho is only keen on offloading Atsu on a loan deal, which could affect Everton, as if they are to bring Lukaku back on loan, then they would be unable to loan Atsu as well.

Clubs are not allowed two players on loan from the same Premier League club, which means Lukaku would have to be a permanent transfer if Atsu was to come, or vice-versa.

Meanwhile, reports in Uruguay suggest Mourinho is eyeing a move for Atletico Madrid centre-back Diego Godin, but the the 28-year-old is content at Atletico Madrid and is in no hurry to join former teammates Costa and Filipe Luis at Stamford Bridge.
